Synergy refers to the interaction between different elements in a work of art that creates a combined effect greater than the sum of its individual parts. It involves the harmonious integration of various artistic components.
Imagine a band playing music together. Each instrument contributes its unique sound, but when they play in sync and complement each other, it creates a powerful and cohesive musical experience.
